Harvey's vision was.

There is a long history of plots
against the life of the US Chief executive. One of the most
Brazen seems little remembered today, and, in fact, was
quickly lost in the news cycle even when it occurred due to
events elsewhere in the world. But the violent attempt on
President Harry Trumans life in 1950 deserves to be
remembered.

Security on El Al - The Airline of Israel
Theyre the worlds most targeted airline, and
they have a perfect safety record. All passengers are
interviewed and vetted, no other airline has this kind of
security, and the only airline to have anti-missile
counter-measures on their airplanes. A comment from a
viewer of this video: In 1973 I was getting on a plane
at Lod airport. The security guy looked at my passport and says
"I see you visit mostly Eastern European countries. Why is
that?" I said I'm studying Slavic languages, particularly
Russian literature." The guy, who was my age, switches to
Russian and as he's going thru my baggage says "Why don't
you tell me a little about the character development of Parfen
Rogozhin in Dostoevky's The Idiot." Surprised, I started
doing my usual "I'm not prepared for this" analysis of
the character development. He finished my luggage and says "OK,
you can get on the plane but I suggest you read your Dostoevsky
a little more carefully."

aircraft ever built, at 230 ft. The B-36 was the first
bomber capable of delivering any of the nuclear weapons in
the U.S. arsenal from inside its four bomb bays without
aircraft modifications. With a range of 10,000 miles and a
maximum payload of 87,200 lbs, the B-36 was the world's

B-52
Fire at Grand Forks Air Force Base
The
Burning B-52 Nearly Caused A Nuclear Catastrophe Worse
than Chernobyl
As many as 70,000 people living within 20 miles of
Grand Forks could have been exposed to high doses of
radiation. With the rate of decay of the plutonium from the
nuclear weapons on the B-52s, affected areas would have seen
elevated levels of radiation for tens of thousands of years
and an extensive clean-up and disposal effort would have
been required to make them habitable again.
The A-7 Corsair II
Developed for the Vietnam War, the Corsair II proved to be

Sluf or 'short little ugly f***' by the Navy crews. There was
nothing ugly about its performance.
